Somewhere in /etc/inittab will be a line specifying the "runlevel" and will most likely be set to "5" for the graphical/X startup/login.
Use a text editor (such as "vi") to modify the value "5" to the value "3". Save the file and exit vi.
If you restart the machine you'll begin in text mode.
Use "startx" to begin your "X" session from that mode.

Don't know about Fedora 4 but on the older versions, it used to ask you whether you wanted a graphical login. Just say no and you will get a non graphical login, in which case X does not startup.
Lots of ways of starting X. I normally use startx. The script is somewhere in /etc. I'm working on a very old (1995) version - they may have moved it somewhere else.
